This is the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's Preliminary Assessment on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, dated 25 June 2021 and prepared for congressional committees under Senate Report 116-233. It covers 144 US government reports from 2004 to 2021. Only one was explained with high confidence, as a deflating balloon. The report finds that UAP pose a flight safety issue and possibly a national security challenge. It proposes five explanatory categories and recommends standardized reporting, expanded collection and more research investment.
This is the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's 2022 Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, prepared with the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) under the FY 2022 NDAA. It reports 510 UAP reports catalogued as of 30 August 2022, including 366 received since the 2021 preliminary assessment. Of those 366, initial analysis characterized 163 as balloons, 26 as drones and 6 as clutter, leaving 171 uncharacterized. The report also notes that no collisions or confirmed health effects have been reported.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Defense issued this Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena in October 2023. It covers 291 UAP reports that AARO received for 31 August 2022 to 30 April 2023, bringing its total to 801. The report finds no adverse health effects, no confirmed foreign attribution and a continuing collection bias toward military airspace. An appended case resolution concludes that lights seen over western US military airspace in 2021 were commercial aircraft.
The Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office issued this Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena to Congress, covering May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024. AARO received 757 reports, and every case it resolved turned out to be a prosaic object such as a balloon, bird, drone, satellite or aircraft. The report says there is no evidence of extraterrestrial technology and no reported health effects. It also covers drone incursions at nuclear sites, the GREMLIN sensor and the KONA BLUE documents.
